The History Channeler

Join self-certified, award-pining histographer Scott Pinkmountain each week as he spelunks the annals of history from before the Big Bang right up until this very moment right now, heroically embodying the philosophic truism: Comedy + Tragedy = Time. Broadcasting live from the historic Capital Defunct Breakfast Soda Building in Hollywood, CA (not to be confused with the Capitol Building in Hollywood, CA), Pinkmountain brings you the #1 rated The-History-Channeler-themed podcast with the help of producer “Silent” Syd Ballabad, superstar intern Chakra Kennedy-Onassis, super-not-star intern Higgenbaum, some nameless interchangeable “support” staff, and wealthy celebrity guests.

Counterpoint/Counterpoint - Sane Gun Regulation 05/31/2022

Counterpoint/Counterpoint - Sane Gun Regulation *Trigger warning: This issue speaks honestly and frankly about reality, which is very, very upsetting. Host Scott Pinkmountain returns from years in the wild to deliver the long-awaited solution to the seemingly intractable debate around the 2nd Amendment. Spoiler alert - it's not intractable. He solved it, quite elegantly and fairly, actually. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/23275598

THC #51 The Empire's State 10/26/2016

THC #51 The Empire's State There's so much going on here at THC centrale that we needed to devote an entire episode just to catching up. Lots of help from our contributing reporters. Zero (volunteer) help from Higgenbaum. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4770481

THC #49 Right Wing Political Art 10/05/2016

THC #49 Right Wing Political Art Deep in the obscure taverns of histories past, and other times before this, we discover some things are always what they seem to be. Join us. Metaphorically. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4719444

THC #48 The internet 09/28/2016

THC #48 The internet For the first time ever, we un-story the tale of how the internet came to be. There had to be a first time for everything, and seeing as how the internet falls under the greater category of everything, this is a first time for that. So, don't say we never do things we haven't done before. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4701232

THC #47 The Jackson-MacDonald Parasite 09/21/2016

THC #47 The Jackson-MacDonald Parasite Things keep getting deeper and deeper into mosaic-like sky puzzle weaving here at THC. You're going to want to hear this podcast, in addition to watching it as well, also. Too. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4680614

THC #46 The Grateful Dead 09/14/2016

THC #46 The Grateful Dead This episode features: Mosaic weaving, business plowing, foregrounding, elision, thought cancelling, malware, forbidden zones, egregious zones and ozones, as well as camel-toting, hoots, and reference to other dimensions. Thank you. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4665122

THC Summer of Hate 2016 Recap Cap Cap in Yo Ass 09/07/2016

THC Summer of Hate 2016 Recap Cap Cap in Yo Ass A little mini-episode to tide you over while Dr. Pinkmountain is "incapacitated" with some heavy lifting.

THC #45 Iran Contra Affair 08/31/2016

THC #45 Iran Contra Affair Dear Reader, we wanted to catch you up on a few of our "precious" staff members' goings on here at THC centrale. Remember Lil' Jaffy Bozo, our Twintern? He's currently serving a short sentence for collusion and assault in a private Turkish prison, which explains why our Twintern page is radically defuncted. Higgenbaum is totally fine, but totally useless, which is why he's been so "quiet" of late. And Shanda Kennering Onando decided she couldn't quite hack interning in the shadow of Chakra Kennedy Onassis, and wound up taking a job with the "good" people over at The Historier Channelerer. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4629181

THC #44 Emcee Ultra 08/24/2016

THC #44 Emcee Ultra If you are a hardcore THCer, you may have noticed that our sound quality was, shall we say, "compromised," last week. We apologize for this and have since discovered the cause of the lapse in our perfection. It was, of course, Higgenbaum. He touched a button that ruined our perfection, as usual. We've taken the precaution of wrapping Higgenbaum's hands in scotch tape to prevent him from touching any buttons from here on out. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4602035

THC #43 Paul Ryan 08/17/2016

THC #42 Westboro Baptist Church 08/10/2016

THC #42 Westboro Baptist Church After a week of infirmy, we're back!! All will be explained in great detail, as our specialty is great details, which sets us apart from other history podcasts which feature great pauses, great intentions, great attempts, perhaps, but details? Eh. Like we always say: The History Channeler. Come for the details. Stay for the Greatness. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4580062

THC #41 The Float Tank Pt. 2 07/27/2016

THC #41 The Float Tank Pt. 2 If you have not heard episode #39 (The Float Tank), we recommend listening to that first, then coming back here, ingesting 71microns of float tank greywater over the course of an unlimited amount of time, and retiring to your antechambre. Relax. It's only float tank juice. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4540727

THC #40 Stand-Up Historian Showcase! 07/20/2016

THC #39 The Float Tank 07/13/2016

THC #39 The Float Tank We know it's redundant to say, because every episode is special, but this is a special episode. "How special?" you ask. It meets and surpasses the ethical standards for specialness established by the Ways and Means and Ways Committee of the Mishegas, CL Kiwanas Club parish #37B as denoted in the 1949 guidelines, signed by President, Clerk and Executioner, Harry Ed, Tub Man. -Mentally Al, Intern, subbing for CKO, who is, apparently, still #1 /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4509762

THC Live Secret Message!! 06/24/2016

THC Live Secret Message!! Forgive the intrusion, but we're receiving a live incoming message on our top secret encoded skrillex machine and we had to share it with you in real time! If you're a regular listener, this is extremely exciting for us to bring this to you. If you're new to the show, this probably won't make too much sense to you. We're, uh, happy to have you here. Before listening to this episode, you may want to slowly introduce some light cardio into your daily routine, then build up to the point where you can handle at least 6 Nudjitsu attackers simultaneously (while blindfolded), then go back to episode one and listen to that on repeat until you feel you've memorized it well enough to recite it forward and backward from any point in the episode. Then we can talk. xo /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4461154

THC #36 The History of Rock 06/22/2016

THC #36 The History of Rock Well, not exactly. You kind of have to listen to the episode to catch our wav.length. Get it? Higgenbaum doesn't. He is presently locked in the stairwell with a bucket stuck on his head. In other words, another average day for HGB. (CKO, however, is #1) /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4458052

THC #35 "Television" 06/15/2016

THC #35 "Television" We return with a special "Sacred Entomology" episode where we do that. Scott wanted me to ask you not to tell Syd about some stuff that comes up in this episode, but it doesn't matter really because Syd doesn't listen to the show. Ever. Have I mentioned lately that CKO RULES!!!!! -cko /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4418542

THC #34 Tether Ball 06/08/2016

THC #32 CIBADUS "In the name of free men everywhere, I elect me to rule this state of one, an island unto itself, unaffiliated, and thus free from the corrupting influence of special interests and also I don't like the Zionist Jewbags. In my country, I'm allowed to say that. Zionist Jewbags. There, I said it again. Zionist Jewbags. Zionist Jewbags." - Carl Hanson Winchester, Rancher, CIBADUS. /episode/index/show/thehistorychanneler/id/4386821
